In this paper we study the question ``When does a perfect generalized ordered space have a -closed-discrete dense subset?'' and we characterize such spaces in terms of their subspace structure, -mappings to metric spaces, and special open covers. We also give a metrization theorem for generalized ordered spaces that have a -closed-discrete dense set and a weak monotone ortho-base. That metrization theorem cannot be proved in ZFC for perfect GO-spaces because if there is a Souslin line, then there is a non-metrizable, perfect, linearly ordered topological space that has a weak monotone ortho-base.
